Miley Cyrus heckled at NYC Tribeca Film Festival by fans who thought premiere was a concert: ‘We paid $800'
Miley Cyrus, the Disney child star turned pop sensation, was heckled by fans at the world premiere of her 'Something Beautiful' long-form music video screening during the Tribeca Film Festival, footage of the awkward exchange showed.
Fans who attended the special screening at The Beacon Theatre were seemingly under the impression that Cyrus would be performing during the event rather than promoting the upcoming film.

'We thought this was a concert, we paid $800,' one person shouted at her during the Q&A segment that took place on stage after the film.
'Are you actually going to sing?' another person questioned.
The festival promoted Friday's event as a 'one-of-a-kind pop opera featuring thirteen original new songs from the Something Beautiful album' with 'an exclusive conversation' with the three-time Grammy winner after the 55-minute project aired.
However, some fans who purchased their tickets on resale websites accused the third-party ticketing platforms of misleading them.
A user on X posted a screenshot from a Google search of the event, which read 'Miley Cyrus Tickets & 2025 Endless Summer Vacation Tour Dates — though the 'Used To Be Young' singer is not on tour and the 'Endless Summer Vacation' record came out in 2023.
'This is the link I clicked on to buy. Says concert tour dates not movie dates,' the fan alleged on X.

Other fans who allegedly bought resale tickets were stunned that the expensive event wasn't a concert and even left early out of frustration, according to The Hollywood Reporter.
'No one would've spent this much money if we had known,' an attendee told the outlet. 'She doesn't tour, she doesn't play live often.'
As of May 27, resale tickets for the Upper Balcony on Vivid Seats started at $510 and became more expensive closer to the stage.
The Post reached out to Vivid Seats for comment.

The 'Flowers' hitmaker eventually gave in to the hecklers' requests and sang her hit 'The Climb' in a cappella fashion.
Tickets to see the 'Hannah Montana' alum's visual album and conversation at the 2,600-seat venue were initially sold on Ticketmaster and titled 'Miley Cyrus World Premiere of Something Beautiful.'
It was one of the rare opportunities fans had to see the 'Flowers' singer in person.
'I can't. Not only 'can't…' because can't is your capability, but my desire,' Cyrus told British Vogue in June 2023. 'Do I want to live my life for anyone else's pleasure or fulfillment other than my own?'
4 Cyrus started dating boyfriend Maxx Morando in 2021 after they were set up on a blind date.

Cyrus added that she felt disconnected from her fans while on stage.
'Like singing for hundreds of thousands of people isn't really the thing that I love,' Cyrus shared. 'There's no connection. There's no safety.'
The 'Party in the USA' singer's last big tour was for 'Bangerz' in 2014.
Cyrus performed in over 70 shows on the 'Bangerz' tour and followed that up with her '2015 Milky Milky Milk Tour,' which consisted of only eight shows.
On top of feeling 'isolated' while on the road, the 'We Can't Stop' vocalist has a medical issue impacting her performance abilities
Cyrus claimed she has Reinke's edema, a disorder she described as an 'abuse of the vocal cords.'
'It's extremely difficult to perform with because it's like running a marathon with ankle weights on,' the star revealed during an interview with Apple Music.

Netflix wanted to beat Disney in family animation. 'KPop Demon Hunters' is its best chance
"We want to beat Disney in family animation," then Netflix CEO Reed Hastings said in an interview in September 2020. At the time, anyone would say that was a tall order. Disney has almost a century of experience of producing animated films, dating back to 1937's "Snow White." Since then, the studio has produced hits that many kids would be familiar with. Think "Cinderella," "Alice in Wonderland" and "Sleeping Beauty." Add to that Pixar's "Toy Story," "The Incredibles" and "Inside Out" and it's not hard to see that Hastings had his work cut out for him. And then came the massively popular "Frozen," the animated musical that was not only the highest-grossing animated film of all time from 2013 to 2019, but whose merchandise and songs were in every toy store, Disney theme park, and car media system when the kids wanted their 30th replay of "Let it Go." But now, Hastings — now Netflix executive chairman — may finally have his goal in sight. That comes in the form of "KPop Demon Hunters," a family-friendly animated musical adventure about a world-famous K-pop group trying to save the world from demons. How it's done (done, done) The film, released on June 20, has made streaming, music and movie history on the platform. It has become Netflix's most-viewed animated film of all time, and its second-most viewed movie ever. According to numbers from Netflix, the film has amassed more than 184 million views since its release. The film's success also extended to music charts. On Tuesday, the song "Golden" from the film topped the Billboard Hot 100 , the ninth song associated with K-pop to conquer the Hot 100 — and the first by female lead vocalists, according to Billboard. In the U.K., "Golden" became the first K-pop song to hit No. 1 on the Official UK Singles Chart in 13 years, following PSY's "Gangnam Style" in 2012. Statistics that Spotify provided to CNBC revealed that the movie's soundtrack has counted over 46 million monthly listeners as of Tuesday, and the album has topped Spotify's Weekly Top Albums Global Chart for every full week since its release, barring a dip to No. 2 for the week of July 17. "KPop Demon Hunters" was released with a single trailer, a far cry in terms of marketing compared with "Squid Game 3," which was out a week later and had a slew of publicity events, social media marketing, and even live appearances from the actors promoting the series. Iltaek Hong, lead editor at Spotify Korea, told CNBC that "K-Pop is more than just music. It's a rich cultural experience built around sound, storytelling, performance and deep artist-fan connections." "That's exactly what K-Pop Demon Hunters captures, and it's why both the film and its music have resonated so strongly with global audiences," he added. Going up, up, up But animated musical movies are not new, so what makes "KPop Demon Hunters" stand out? What fueled its millions of views, week after week? Bernie Cho, president of South Korean artist services agency DFSB Kollective, explained that while the film did not have much marketing on traditional media, it was gaining popularity on social media. KPop Demon Hunters was art imitating life that was imitating art. President, DFSB Kollective Bernie Cho "The movie played into the K-pop playbook of viral videos, of infectious memes, user-generated content. People basically promoted the movie because of its originality and its authenticity. No different than a K-pop boy band or a girl band," he said. The film has spawned hundreds of shorts on YouTube, from highlights to dance challenges, and even covers of the soundtrack by active K-pop idols. Spotify's Hong said that level of interaction is what makes K-pop unique and the film's soundtrack stand out. "It's not just being listened to, it's being lived." "K-pop Demon Hunters was art imitating life that was imitating art," Cho quipped, referencing the plot point of how Huntr/x — the K-pop group in the movie — draw their power to seal demons from their fans. Cho worked on the film as a music licensing consultant. In an illustration of that full circle, Billboard even came out with their list of top 5 covers of "Golden" from K-pop idols. Director Maggie Kang had said the K-pop groups in the movie were inspired by a multitude of artists, and Cho said, "You have K-pop artists that inspired the movie, now reinterpreting their favorite parts, their favorite scenes, their favorite dance moves, their favorite tracks." Gonna be, gonna be, golden "It is a potential gold mine. Can Netflix mine all that gold out? That's the question." director of insights and content strategy, Greenlight Analytics Brandon Katz But it's not about the views and streams alone — "KPop Demon Hunters" gives Netflix "their first real, organic, mega hit animated franchise," said Brandon Katz, director of insights and content strategy at Greenlight Analytics. That gives them the opportunity to show that the platform can develop and expand this intellectual property at the same level of Disney, he added. For starters, Netflix has moved quickly to extend the longevity of the film's influence. The studio has announced a "sing-along event" for U.S. and U.K. audiences in selected theaters later in August, and the merchandise page for "KPop Demon Hunters" has 187 products, more than Squid Game 3's 139 products. An exclusive report from The Wrap on July 31 revealed that Netflix has more plans, and is considering two sequels, a short film and a stage musical for the franchise. It is important to develop he emotional ties an audience has with a piece of IP, Katz said, "because the more emotionally invested they are in a franchise, the greater the likelihood that they'll spend money on it." "KPop Demon Hunters" has been Netflix's "biggest home run" in original animated movie-making, Katz said. The way Netflix responds to this phenomenon — such as how it crafts a long-lasting franchise across multiple distribution pathways and how it captures consumer spending — will be critical to maximizing the potential of the film, he added. "It is a potential gold mine. Can Netflix mine all that gold out? That's the question."

Sarah Jessica Parker Teases Potential Return For 'Hocus Pocus 3': 'We Would Like to Do It'
Sarah Jessica Parker Teases Potential Return For 'Hocus Pocus 3': 'We Would Like to Do It' originally appeared on Parade. If Hocus Pocus 2 proves anything else, it's that the famously whimsical Sanderson Sisters always find a way to return to the mortal realm. With 29 years passing between the release of 1993's cult favorite Hocus Pocus and its eventual 2022 sequel, many are wondering what the future holds for Disney's trio of mischievous magical practioners. In a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live with Andy Cohen this past Sunday, Sarah Jessica Parker herself chimed in on Hocus Pocus 3's slow development, as well as her own enthusiastic take on the upcoming sequel. Taking a question from two callers asking about the film, the 60-year-old Parker shared a small but important update on Hocus Pocus 3, telling the audience, "No more developments, other than we would like to do it." Previously, Disney had green-lit a third entry in the series for production based on the success of 2022's Hocus Pocus 2. Though news about the long-awaited sequel have remained relatively, we know that the film is likely to premiere as a Disney+ exclusive, and that both director Anne Fletcher and write Jen D'Angelo would return for the project. Chiming on the third film's ongoing development, And Just Like That...'s main star revealed, "We would like to do it, and we've been having some conversations." Both the original Hocus Pocus and its sequel follow the unlikely return of the Sanderson Sisters: a coven of witches from 17th century New England who find themselves resurrected in modern-day Salem, Massachusetts. Brilliantly played by Parker and her co-stars Bette Midler and Kathy Najimy, all three actors have voiced their desire to return to the film, with the 79-year-old Midler specifically citing the character of Winifred Sanderson as one of her favorite on-screen roles. "I think if they're gonna, they oughta because time is not just marching. Time is barrel-a**ing to the finish line," Midler said when asked whether Disney was making a third film. "Get us while we're still breathing, I mean, God!' Sarah Jessica Parker Teases Potential Return For 'Hocus Pocus 3': 'We Would Like to Do It' first appeared on Parade on Jul 14, 2025 This story was originally reported by Parade on Jul 14, 2025, where it first appeared.
